HIS EXTRAVAGANT LOVE

“And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you.”
1 Thessalonians 3:12 (KJV)
Main Text:

Most people have very low expectations of what God will provide for them materially. They trust Him to feed and clothe them, but they don’t trust Him to feed and clothe them very well. Somehow they’ve got an idea that God is an old man who will do littlemore than put rags on their backs and beans on their tables.

God’s love for us is extravagant. The word extravagant means lavish or reckless. He loves us beyond measure and doesn’t want us to worry about what to wear, eat or where to work. Matthew 6:29, God says He would clothe us better than He clothed Solomon. That one statement alone proves that God wants to do more than just meet our basic needs; He wants to bless us abundantly.

God is a loving Father; He gets great pleasure from blessing His children. He’s extravagant where we’re concerned. He owns the cattle on a thousand hill and is ready and willing to take care of you.

Confession: I walk in the blessings of Abraham through Christ Jesus. I am blessed beyond measure and God’s hand overshadows me! Praise the Lord, God loves me lavishly.

Further Reading: 1 Tim 6:17 (AMP) “As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be proud and arrogant and contemptuous of others, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches, but on God, Who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for [our] enjoyment.”

Ps 35:27 (KJV) “Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.”
